A MUST READ FOR EVERY LADIES & GENTLEMEN!! Top 10 Questions About S3x In Islam by Abu Ibrahim

Sex in Islam, Always a Hot Topic

Since beginning this series (and before) I’ve received lots of questions about sex and Islam. I was surprised at how little Muslims know about this topic. Things that were common knowledge to me, were not so common to others.
I have learned the sad fact that many Muslims lack a basic understanding of Islam. This is what inspired me to create this website in the first place. Even sadder is that many do not understand what is halaal (permissible) and haraam (forbidden) when it comes to x.







Without this knowledge, you might be committing illegal xual acts without even knowing it.
This is what this short series was supposed to address. Hopefully, you’ve benefited from it and have learned a thing or two about love, x, and marriage in Islam.
To help with this understanding, I also wrote a book called “S3x in Islam.” This book covers many of the topics discussed in this series but it is more focused on the topic of x between husband and wife.
Some may disagree with me for creating this series during Ramadan. But since people aren’t going to stop having x during Ramadan, I don’t see any reason why it shouldn’t be discussed. Especially if the discussion is coming from an Islamic standpoint.
With this in mind, here are the top 10 questions about x in Islam.

1. What is Zina?

Zina is illegal sexual intercourse, specifically x with someone you’re not married to. This can be fornication (unmarried people having x) or adultery (married people having x with someone they’re not married to). Both require severe punishments in Islamic law.

2. What is the punishment for fornication and adultery?

The punishment for an unmarried person having x is 100 lashes and banishment from the community for 1 year.
The punishment for a married or divorced person having x with someone they’re not married to is death according to most scholars. There is a minority that say the punishment is the same as fornication.

3. Is homosexuality forbidden?

Yes, homosexuality is absolutely forbidden in Islam, no matter what Lady Gaga says. Allah says in His book:

Verily, you practise your lusts on men instead of women. Nay, but you are a people transgressing beyond bounds.
Surah A’raf, verse 81.

The punishment for committing homosexual acts under Islamic law is death.

4. Is m@sturbation permissible?

Most traditional scholars say no. However, many modern scholars are saying it is permissible, though disliked. There is no specific verse from the Quran or hadith that absolutely prohibits it, so I would have to agree with those that say it is permissible. Nonetheless, I encourage you to stay away from it.

 

 

 

 

 

5. Is anal s3x permissible?

No, it is not. Prophet Muhammad forbade anal x, even between a man and a woman.

“Whoever has sexual intercourse with a menstruating woman, or a woman in her anus, or approaches a soothsayer and believes what he is told has disbelieved in that which was revealed to Muhammad.”

Forbidden sexual acts are discussed at length in my book “S3x in Islam.” Click this link to download it from Amazon.com

6. Is oral x permissible?

Similar to mas turbation, most traditional scholars say “no.” However, modern scholars seem to lean towards it being “permissible, but not good.” There are no verses from the Quran or hadith prohibiting it. Therefore, I agree with those that say it is permissible, but disliked.

7. Can Muslims use contraception?

In short, yes. This is a deep topic and I can’t discuss it at length here. Condoms, diaphragms, and utilizing the “withdrawal method” are all permissible so long as both spouses agree. Medical contraception that involves surgery is not permissible for men, but can be for women if medically necessary.

8. Is ab0rti0n permissible?

In general, no. But there are exceptions, namely rape, incest, or medical reasons. This topic also requires a deep discussion and it cannot be done here. I discuss both contraception and abortion in depth in “Sx in Islam.”

9. I can’t stop watching pornography. What can I do?

This is becoming more and more of a problem with Muslims. I don’t know how to cure this addiction (and it should be looked at as an addiction) but I think I have methods that can help, Inshallah. I’m willing to help anyone who has a problem with this.

10. How come men can marry four wives but women can’t marry four husbands?

Because Allah has not allowed it.
